Stone House Musical B&b - Natchez

After a lifetime of visits to Natchez, Mississippi as the guest of our closest friends, who now, due to the foibles of aging, and their celebrating an 89th birthday, could no longer entertain, my spouse and I researched Natchez accommodations. Fortunately, for us, all the major hotel chains were booked for the first weekend in June of 2023. Serendipitously, I discovered the Stone House Musical B B. We were blessed to be graciously accommodated by the host, Mr. Joseph Stone, the owner of the main residence, an antebellum, restoration winning residence featured on the Natchez Pilgrimage tours. We spend two idyllic nights at the cottage on the grounds of the estate. Mr. Stone gave us our very own informative personal tour of the Stone House, a history lesson of the present with insight into times past. The breakfast prepared and served served daily in the main house were served on heirloom Limoge china with period serving pieces. The English toast server was a lesson in engineering! My favorite serving piece was the 18th Century English Sterling Mustard Pod which held the orange marmalade. Mr. Stone graciously on one of our evenings in Natchez, played the family Steinway Medium Grand circa 1903. With two daughters who both studied piano with a conservatory graduate, his skills did not disappoint. We were enthralled. Mr. Stone truly is a renaissance gentleman whose attention to detail, history, and knowledge of world affairs, past and present, is erudite, brilliant. He is part of the entire package, if you wish. The cottage on the grounds of the estate was comfortable in every capacity. The beds, perfect. The cotton towels, changed daily, We felt as if we were special amily, and our inclusion into the main house, a perfect Natchez immersion. In retrospect, how blessed we were to have had this experience as opposed to staying in a commercial establishment. We would return, certainly anticipate doing so, and would recommend The Stone House Musical B B to all comers.

My wife and I stayed for two nights in the very comfortable two bedroom cottage adjacent to the main house. We have lodged at many B&Bs over the years, and most have been delightful, but this was unquestionably our best experience. The main house is truly a museum of fine art, antique maps, and books. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. But, by far, the happiest part of our experience was the time we spent talking with the owner, Joe Stone—truly a wonderful soul. We have family in Natchez and try to visit as often as we can. We will always stay at Stone House. Thank you, Joe!

The history of the home is so very interesting. Joe is a descendant as well as the proprietor of the property. His breakfasts skills are fabulous. The room was very nice and cozy. Joe spent a lot of his time sharing his vast knowledge of the history of his beautiful home and city with us. I would highly recommend a stay with him. By the way, his dog Precious is an absolute sweetheart. Also, if you get a chance, he sells a Praline Pecan Liqueur that is absolutely delicious!Rooms: Beautifully decorated and very comfortableSafety: We felt very safe hereFood drinks: Delicious breakfast and tasty Liqueur ?

My wife and I had a great experience at Stone House. We felt like we were in a home away from home. The cottage behind the house was private and also comfortable. There was a piano inside the cottage as well if you enjoy playing. Joe, our host, was a very nice and very talented guy. He even played a couple of piano pieces for us in the evening and he made a very nice breakfast for us in the morning. His dog Sweetie also lived up to her name and was a very well mannered and nice dog. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend this B&B.

Joe is a wonderful host with exquisite knowledge of his family history and history of Natchez. Very informative and passionate but not pushy gives you your space but is there if you need him. The breakfast experience is outstanding and second to none. And “Precious “ Joe’s puppy makes you feel like family! We will be back.
